SAFETY PRECAUTIONS(Read these precautions before using this product.)

Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals carefully and pay full attention

to safety to handle the product correctly.

The precautions given in this manual are concerned with this product. For the safety precautions of the

programmable controller system, refer to the User's Manual for the CPU module.

In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: " WARNING" and " CAUTION".

Under some circumstances, failure to observe the precautions given under " CAUTION" may lead to

serious consequences.

Make sure that the end users read this manual and then keep the manual in a safe place for future

reference.

[Design Instructions]

WARNING● When data change, program change, or status control is performed from a personal computer to a

running programmable controller, create an interlock circuit outside the programmable controller to

ensure that the whole system always operates safely.

Furthermore, for the online operations performed from a personal computer to a programmable

controller CPU, the corrective actions against a communication error due to such as a cable

connection fault should be predetermined as a system.

CAUTION● The online operations performed from a personal computer to a running programmable controller

CPU (forced output and operating status changes) must be executed after the manual has been

carefully read and the safety has been ensured.

The operation failure may cause the injury or machine damage.

WARNING

CAUTION

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,

resulting in death or severe injury.

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,

CHAPTER 3 INSTALLATION AND

UNINSTALLATION

This chapter explains the installation and uninstallation procedures of MX Sheet.

3.1 Installation

This section explains MX Sheet installation. Screens from Windows® 7 are used except for different operations

required in other operating systems.

3.1.1 Before installing MX Sheet

(1) Considerations when installing MX Sheet

• Before installing MX Sheet, close any other applications running on Windows®.

• The installer may not work normally because of the operating system's or other companies' update

programs, such as Windows® Update or the Java update program, start automatically. Install MX Sheet after

configuring those update programs not to start automatically.

• When installing MX Sheet, log on as a user with the Administrator authority.

• For the required personal computer operating environment to install MX Sheet, refer to the following chapter.

Page 11, CHAPTER 2

● When the screen is not displayed (installation does not start) at start of the installer, start the installer by the following methods.

• Copy the installer to a directory in a shallow layer such as "C:\temp", and start it. • Right-click SETUP.EXE, select [Run as administrator], and start the installer. • Exit the resident software for a keyboard/mouse, and restart the installer.

● If the problem cannot be solved by the above methods, check whether the personal computer used applies to the following conditions.

• "ntvdm.exe" is high load in the task manager (the usage rate of one CPU core is the maximum).

• The personal computer is equipped with the 6th generation Intel® Core™ processor. • An image is output by using the on-board video (CPU built-in).

• Any of edition of 32-bit version Microsoft® Windows® 7 is used.If any of the above conditions are applied, the Windows system module "ntvdm.exe" may be executed abnormally due to an incomplete BIOS code on the personal computer side, which causes failure to install correctly. Please contact the used personal computer manufacturer, and obtain the corrected BIOS and apply it.
